Totally remodeled in 2011, this 1980 ranch-style custom home has 1,897sqft with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Inside, you feel as if you have walked into House Beautiful. The entry is a picture... straight ahead is the half-walled media room with the pool and shade pavilion in the background. To the left is hallway to the bedrooms and guest bath. The media room and the hallway both have laminate wood plank flooring. To the right is the formal dining area and a glimpse of the family room beyond. You will love the artistic patterned tile floors of the dining area, family room, and kitchen. The media room and family room have elegant vaulted ceilings and the modern kitchen has a stylish boxed coffer ceiling with inset canned lighting and drop fixtures over the granite breakfast bar. The kitchen is a dream... spacious with black granite counters enhanced by the beautiful white custom cabinets. The black and stainless freestanding range has a floor to ceiling white ceramic brick tile backdrop and a beautiful custom stainless steel hood fixture. The kitchen has direct access to the large two car finished garage. The kitchen is completely open to the large family room. The family room has a neat corner pellet stove and stylish display mantel to replace the brick fireplace that was formerly there. (Don't worry...that fireplace has a new function outside.) The three off bedrooms are nicely sized and the guest bath has a nice granite counter with a custom cabinet and a spacious linen closet. The master bedroom has dual mirrored wardrobe closets and a great master bathroom that has a separate makeup counter, custom linen cabinets, and a beautiful soaking tub and shower with glass block walls on two sides and a granite surround. Of course, the counters are also granite. Now let's go outside.

Access to the back yard is off of the family room. Now here's a back yard built with entertaining in mind. For starters you have a massive stamped concrete patio with a gorgeous white vinyl shade trellis. Remember that fireplace? The owners have converted it into a neat outdoor fire pit. The focal point of the back yard is the beautiful free form pool with a neat sunning patio and built-in shade pavilion plus white vinyl privacy fencing as a backdrop. The freeform concrete walkways provide for some neat landscaping possibilities. There is even a separate spot for a spa with electric already in. And, between the spa site and the pool, you have a great conversation piece in the huge natural rock feature with its native grinding holes.

Now for the other features of this unique country residence. At the rear of the back yard is a great barn-style shop. You have tons of room for all of your projects, storage areas, and access to the back pasture area. A separate gate and driveway off the side of the home provides access to the back pasture area. The back pasture is over 2 acres of gentle terrain(and a few more native grinding holes). Down in the far corner you will find native black walnut trees that are intertwined with native climbing pink roses. Really neat! Off of the front parking area is another gated drive to the front pasture and a neat four stall horse barn with tack and hay storage. The barn is equipped with water and electricity and a center access aisle with front and rear sliding doors. The front pasture is nearly 2 acres of very gentle, nearly level terrain that would be a great spot for a full sized arena. Finally, the property has 2 wells. Only one is presently in use. The second has been capped for future use.

As always, I tell you about any negatives. There aren't many. The back yard could use some finishing touches on the landscaping but just think of that as your personal canvas to paint. The owners have put in a significant amount of pipe rail fencing but it is still a work in progress. The entire property is fenced and cross-fenced but several areas are field fenced. There's your negatives.

This is a truly awesome property... meticulously maintained, loaded with features, and a premier location close to HWY 180 for an easy commute to town. The home is as elegant and well designed as any you will ever see. And, while many of the important things have already been done, there is ample room for you to put in your personal touches. Want an arena? Bigger barn? How about an orchard and family garden? Or a vineyard? How about a few more animals besides horses? There is plenty of room for all of these and more. Come take a look. Once you have seen it, you will understand just what an awesome deal it is. Like I said in the beginning, you won't find anything in that drab, sweltering San Joaquin Valley that comes close to comparing for features and price. Plus, up here, you have awesome views of the surrounding mountains, lots of privacy, and a serene rural lifestyle where you can enjoy all four seasons.
